New guest Thaddeus brings a movie to the pod that Jon is surprised he hasn't done yet, but welcomes the iconicness that is Sister Act. They talk about how big this movie was, as well as Whoppi being an icon. Did we mention that this movie is iconic?

Jon and Colden have been sitting on this one for a minute, and it was time to finally do this! Jon is here for Judy as a voice actor for a cat, but Colden has notes and Jon clutches his pearls.

Phil comes back with a Bollywood romcom that's about generational trauma. It literally has every genre of film in it, and Jon needs to watch more Bollywood movies.

| Ep. 577 - Ain't Misbehavin' (1982) (w/ Martha Madrigal and Charles Tyson, Jr.) | 07 Sep 2026 | 01:13:41 | |
Get ready for some jazz sung by legends! Jon, Martha, and Charles get into the show Ain't Misbehavin', which is a jukebox musical that's basically a concert. They talk about the history (more like Jon learns some things) and can't get over this all star cast!

| Ep. 576 - Central Park - Season 1 (w/ Blanche Daly) | 03 Sep 2026 | 01:01:33 | |
And now for something completely different - a musical animated TV series! Jon and Blanche take a trip into Loren Bouchard's mind to see what he gets up to in this new-ish series that centers around a family who live in Central Park. Chaos ensues.

| Ep. 575 - Under the Cherry Moon (1986) (w/ Shady) | 31 Aug 2026 | 01:06:42 | |
We're closing out this round of Jon's Picks with Shady! Jon challenged himself and Shady to watch the Prince movie Under the Cherry Moon, and they were pleasantly surprised with it.

| Ep. 574 - The Muppets Take Manhattan (1984) (w/ Sierra Rein) | 27 Aug 2026 | 01:10:54 | |
Jon wanted to do this with Sierra because she is also a Muppet expert (on top of being our Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly Correspondent). She and Jon discuss the probability of Manhattan Melodies coming to Broadway, have some costume notes for one of the humans, and just marvel at the technology the Henson Company came up with to do some truly magical filmmaking.

| Ep. 573 - Jem and the Holograms (2015) (w/ Ashley Evans) | 24 Aug 2026 | 01:06:52 | |
Jon really tortured himself with this one. Much like last episode, he wanted to get this one done and over with (and prays no one picks it for a Second Chance). And he thought that this was up Ashley's alley, which she gladly took the challenge of watching this without knowing anything about Jem.

We're heading back to LaGuardia High School to check in on this new crop of Fame kids. Jon forced...umm...asked Sam to watch this movie and the two banter about how everyone treats these underage children, as well as share some fun surprises! Be sure to listen to the whole episode to get a shock of your lives!

| Ep. 571 - Mulan (1998) (w/ Cullen Callaghan and Hannah Sylvester) | 17 Aug 2026 | 01:31:19 | |
Jon specifically chose Hannah and Cullen to discuss this movie because he was more interested in learning and discussing the legend of Mulan. As well as how iconic this movie is, and how legendary the songs are in this movie.

| Ep. 570 - Forbidden Zone (1980) (w/ Jim Evans) | 13 Aug 2026 | 01:10:51 | |
While searching for topics, Jon came across this movie and by the poster alone knew that he wanted to talk about this movie with Jim. Jim loves this movie while Jon was trying to piece together his melted brain.

| Ep. 568 - Firebringer (w/ Kevin Jeezy) | 06 Aug 2026 | 00:52:02 | |
We're going way back in this one - 2016! Jon has brought Kevin back to talk about this Starkid musical that almost everyone knows by it's famous meme. But Jon and Kevin were entertained with this production and would like to see it done elsewhere.

We're kicking off another month of Jon's Picks with this quirky Australian musical movie that both surprised Jon and Shady! Y'all should watch it!

| Ep. 566 - Ziegfeld Girl (1941) (w/ Roland Rusinek) | 30 Jul 2026 | 00:59:45 | |
We're closing out MGM month with Roland - it seemed fitting to have him bookend this month because of his love of old movies. Jon is convinced this movie is the basis of Jacqueline Susann's novel The Valley of the Dolls (which it is possible), but Roland is fawning over these women (and Jon is, too)!

| Ep. 565 - Take Me Out to the Ball Game (1949) (w/ Sierra Rein) | 27 Jul 2026 | 01:14:37 | |
It's summer! So Jon and Sierra decide to go to a ball game...in 190-something. Whilst there, they watch Gene Kelly, Frank Sinatra, and Jules Munshin a few months before On the Town be the best part of this team. And Esther Williams basically dips her toe in a puddle.

Y'all. This one was super mid. And Jon and Aaron are over it. But there were some high points in the movie that they enjoyed, but not enough...

| Ep. 563 - Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (1968) (w/ Danielle Brown and Christopher Brown) | 20 Jul 2026 | 01:13:41 | |
Although it was not originally an MGM movie, it technically is one now so Jon decided to bend the rules of his own podcast (shocker) and added this into MGM month. Joined by Danielle and Chris, only one of this trio has seen this movie before and they all agree it is insane and very horny.

Lauren's here to celebrate MGM month with an all star cast and beautiful gowns. Loosely based on a book-turned-musical-turned-RKO-musical-movie, this version has a lot of beautiful images and fun musical numbers that come out of nowhere.

| Ep. 561 - Bathing Beauty (1944) (w/ Colden Lamb) | 13 Jul 2026 | 00:50:00 | |
Colden brought Esther Williams to the pod! He and Jon get into this movie that is filled with cameos that makes Jon wonder if this was a movie for the troops a la a USO show. Also, why is it called Bathing Beauty?

| Ep. 560 - Kismet (1955) (w/ Arianna Armon) | 09 Jul 2026 | 01:04:16 | |
We're not mad, just disappointed. Jon and Arianna head to a magical time via MGM studio sets where things are just fine, even though one of the directors checked out of this project. But there's Howard Keel.

We're finally doing this movie, which is surprising to Jon and a lot of other people. New guest Jessica Catena brought a banger for a first episode to the pod! She and Jon talk all things about Judy Garland, the World's Fair(s), and what Halloween was like in 1903.

| Ep. 556 - Prey for Rock & Roll (2003) (w/ Sheila Blanche Daly) | 25 Jun 2026 | 00:50:48 | |
Sheila's back (new name, same person) where she talks about her new love Gina Gershon! She and Jon guess what the stage version was like as well as what year this movie takes place in. They do talk about the serious moments in the show, but also get into the banger music. Also: Happy Pride!

Christopher and Danielle join forces to talk about the crazy ride this band goes on, and Christopher shares some stories about how this movie mimics his life in a way. And this movie is all about the song selection!

It's so nice that we had to do it twice! Jon revived our first milestone episode (500 episodes ago!), but basically quadrupled it. He asked our former guests to come up with musical moments in non musical television shows and films, and 14 of them responded with various and very fun topics. Most of them were a trip down memory lane. Feel free to jump to different segments. This is a long episode, and we're not sorry about it. And be sure to watch it on our YouTube page!

Danielle wanted to torture Jon with this movie, but he actually kinda liked it.
